Anthropic just got caught secretly downgrading users without telling them, charging full price for a lesser product, and storing every prompt for 30 days. The developer community is calling it the biggest violation of trust in AI history.
Here is exactly what happened.
Anthropic released Fable 5, their most powerful model. Buried inside a 319-page document was a policy most users never saw. Every prompt you send to a Mythos-class model gets stored for 30 days. No exceptions. Even enterprise customers who had signed zero data retention agreements had no choice.
But the storage was not the part that broke the internet.
The part that broke the internet was what Anthropic did with what they collected.
They built a profile on you. They evaluated your prompts. And if they decided your research was too sensitive, they quietly switched you to a weaker model, rewrote your prompt in the background, gave you a degraded answer, and charged you full price for the product you thought you were getting.
They never told you.
David Sacks said it plainly on the All-In podcast. They were creating a new class of AI haves and have-nots. Anthropic would surveil you, profile you, decide whether you deserved frontier capability, and silently cut you off if they decided you did not.
Ben Thompson from Stratechery asked a straightforward question about cancer risk and GLP-1s. He got kicked to a lesser model.
Someone asked about mitochondria. Same result.
J-Cal asked about fertilizer regulations live on the podcast to test it. Downgraded in real time.
Anthropic has since walked back the part about silently downgrading users for AI research. They now say they will disclose when they downgrade you. But they are still downgrading people. The surveillance is still running. The profile is still being built.
This is the company that once said it was against government surveillance.
They are now doing it themselves. To their own paying customers. For their own reasons. With no appeal process and no way to know it happened.
The developer community did not forget that.

97 out of 100 Senators had their campaigns funded by AIPAC.
We knew there was a uniparty but I don’t think most of us knew what that actually entailed.
Now that we do, we need to take steps to prevent this foreign influence over the American government.

Police and media are only identifying the suspect as a “teen with a white shirt”
Netanyahu is lobbying for Section 224 in the national defense bill, a provision that quietly expands U.S.-Israel military cooperation and weapons development with almost zero oversight.
The American people do not want more U.S. military aid to Israel. We must defeat Section 224.

El abogado Sij, Bobby Singh, dijo que apoya al asesino de Henry Nowak, Vickrum Digwa, porque también es Sij bautizado, dice que Gran Bretaña es un "país bastardo", llamó a otros Sijs a ATENTAR contra los británicos patriotas, y que deben ACABAR con Tommy Robinson, principal figura de derecha en UK.
¿Los británicos dejarán que este sujeto hable de esa manera contra su pais?.
"When it's painful to hold and you just want out, that's typically the wrong time to sell. You missed it."
@JohnArnoldTen31 says don't sell at 60 to recapture the opportunity to sell at 100. Data directionally suggests we are closer to the bottom than the top.
'According to documents released under the Freedom of Information Act, one solution suggested in American Government circles was to sink the Liberty so journalists could not photograph it and inflame public opinion against the Israelis.'

Watch the video. Face the brutal reality of mass third-world migration. It's ugly, filthy, and devastating. Don't look away.
And the politicians and activists facilitating this are directly responsible for the rape gangs, stabbings, and beheadings.
Understand what's at stake. The West must carry out mass deportations, the East must prevent mass immigration at all costs. Wake up before it's too late.
Jacob Smith, a 20yo White McDonald’s manager, is in the ICU after his Black coworker threw hot oil on him, causing 2nd-degree burns over 22% of his body.
If the races were reversed, this would be national news and labeled a hate crime immediately. Right?
